My poster has used forms and conventions of real media products through my inpiration for example;
My poster used the conventions of 'The Collector's' poster; the film title above the smaller film details at the bottom of the page, an image that links visually to my web-page and teaser trailer, like 'The Collector' does, the use of symmetry in the image and the writing from in the film/trailer at the top of the poster.
My web page has also taken forms of real media products from 'The Collector';
The use of the same image for both of my Ancillary texts was a form of real media conventions that 'The Collector's' poster and webpage was used as inspiration. Again you can see the vast similarities between the two; having the image that is used on my poster as the background image, the little red web-page links, that like in my inspiration webpage, turns from red to white, having the production logos and names under the trailer instead of the film's name is the only way we challenged this example of a real media product: our web-page includes the teaser trailer of the advertised film on the web-page and we have used the image of the altar to have the film's name on, meaning we have the production logos and names under our trailer on the webpage.
Another example of how we used the conventions of real media products could be Joel Slar's 'convention of web-page design' theory:
I made my web-page and blog follow this model because it is the design template of almost every successful web-page or blog on the internet, having the most important aspects of a web-page located in the centre is key because the eye notices the centre of a page first. Every post in my blog is in the centre, between links to other posts and general links, that are less important than the content of my posts deliberately following Joel Sklar's conventions of web-page design.
